Types of hotel door locks and the best products from Max Warehouse

∙ min read

In the hospitality industry, every detail counts towards creating a comfortable stay for guests. Each element contributes to the overall experience from the entrance to the room. One aspect that cannot be overlooked is security, which remains an undisputed priority. 


For hotel owners, selecting the right lock is about safety, convenience, and efficient management. Today, on the Max Warehouse blog, we'll explore the different types of hotel door locks. Additionally, we'll recommend some traditional solutions that will enhance your guests' experience and bolster the security of your business.

 

Types of hotel door locks

 

Electronic locks

Electronic locks are the most common in modern hotels. Instead of keys, they use access cards or mobile devices. They are secure and allow for easy access control management, although one downside is that they can be easily demagnetized.


Smart locks

Smart locks integrate with the hotel's management system to control access through smartphones or biometric data. They often include features like temporary access programming.

 

Code locks

Code locks operate with a keypad where a code is entered to unlock the door. They are useful in areas requiring additional security within the hotel, such as storage rooms or staff areas. With these locks, there's no need to carry keys or cards or worry about losing them. Frequently changing the codes helps maintain hotel and guest security.


Some notable models from Max Warehouse include:

  • Kwikset SmartKey Electronic Touch Pad Entry: Made of Venetian bronze, this lock features a one-touch locking lighted keypad, reversible lever, and auto-locking feature after 30 seconds. Installation requires no extra screw holes.

  • Faultless Aged Bronze Metal Electronic Deadbolt: Featuring a beautiful aged bronze finish, this Castle Electronic Deadbolt has Grade 3 Security, auto-lock with adjustable delay, and includes two keys. It operates on four AA batteries (not included) and can be programmed with a master code and up to 10 user codes.

Mechanical locks

Some smaller establishments still use mechanical locks, although more modern options are replacing them. These include traditional key locks. They are easy to use and don't pose problems for older guests struggling with more advanced locking systems.

  • Brinks Push Pull Rotate Harper Satin Nickel Entry Lever: Built to achieve rigorous residential security standards, these locks are constructed on a commercial-grade chassis to withstand repeated use. They are perfect for front and back doors and interior rooms like bathrooms, laundry rooms, and pantries.

These are just a few of the most popular types of hotel door locks. The recommendations above are ideal for vintage or rustic-style hotels. These brands are known for their security, and you can find them in Max Warehouse's catalog. Explore our variety of products and see our models available for all types of hospitality businesses.
